Dunwich serves her community better when she sticks to Wicca.
Unfortunately, she often lapses into discussions of "old Celtic ways" in this book. Worse yet, what she labels as "old Celtic" is often neither very old nor particularly Celtic.
Julius Caesar and The Wicker Man are not accurate portrayals of the Celts, who actually lived in more than just France and the British Isles!!!

The rituals are cute, but the factual information is often demonstrably NOT fact.

So, take it with a huge grain of salt, or not, as you will.

This is a wonderful book for the season of Halloween and any other Fall endeavor for the enterprising witch. It is well written and extremely informative. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about the Halloween tradition. It dispells the common stereotype of the green skinned, wart nosed, pointed hat wearing, broom riding, cauldron stirring crone.

Blessed be.

This book is very informative about superstitions, symbols, and meanings of Halloween (Samhain). It does not take the reader to great depths about Paganism or Wicca, but it is not meant to. A very good read to brush up on Halloween lore.

This is an excellent Halloween time book.Now,if you read this witch book ,let's say on the Fourth of July,you may not be as grateful reading it then.She has an extensive bibliography,yet no annotations to support her research.Gerina Dunwich's writing is still a joy to read,anytime.There's a lot of historical folklore covered.I would recommend reading it in the Autumn quatre.This book is a magickal tribute to the 'Season of the Witch'.

This book was easy to read and something I would feel comfortable passing on to anyone who has questions about the true meaning of Halloween.

I am about half way through this book- I find it very interesting. Great facts and lore about Halloween. I am not Wicca or Pagan and still find this book enjoyable with great facts. Definitely worth it if you are interested in some background history and information on Halloween.

we just love halloween and we like this book cause it has some very cool things to make and we like to add different things each year. plus it is a very fun way to get the whole family involved and have some fun and grow stronger. thanks

Decent enough book, a little hard on the eyes as the print is in brown rather tan black and my old eyes have a hard time with the lack of sharpness.

I was searching for material for a Halloween book of my own when I came across this one. Cute book and one you should have handy on well, Halloween!

This was an awesome book! I couldn't put it down. This book is perfect for anyone who wants to know more about Halloween, where Halloween comes from, who started it, and what it's really all about. It also has some great tips to make your next Halloween party a success!
